I have some very newbie questions.
About your kit, is it installable on a base cayman 987?
Is it installable on a tiptronic, or only manual?
What upgrades would you recommend somebody to get with the turbo kit in order to maintain reliability of the car?

So, it is possible to turbo the cayman, even if it has tiptronic? And you think on a manual, the only necessary upgrade is the clutch?

We have guys doing it on caymans in their garages w/o issue. We used to run an aux oil pump and when they worked they worked well but there was a more than 0 failure rate so we swapped it for this new system that helps with oil starvation as well.

I would say it has about as much chance of going as an engine w/o the turbo system. We have well over a hundred cayman systems all over the world(some installed in garages) w/o a single failure. Have clients with over 50k miles on the system as well.

I repeal what I said about the X51 clutch... It is the same as the Factory S clutch... I read the PET wrong... We do a conversion on Cayman cars to accept the S clutch to handle the power... Judging that it will comfortably hold 450whp i would assume that the same is true but we will find out come more testing.
